IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: The present invention teaches methods and systems (Fig. 8) for providing full digital services such as VOD, digital broadcast, as well as a universal set-top-box (STB) (600) capable of handling this variety of digital services. A plurality of hardware architectures and complimentary data transmission methods identifying the distinct services through an electronic program guide enable such transmission. The universal STB (600) of the present invention is capable of distinguishing the different services based upon information received in the electronic program guide, and is designed with unique hardware architecture including a large buffer. The present invention further provides viewing options such as multiple broadcasts and virtual VCR time-shifting features including pause, recording, and freeze-framing a broadcast without suffering the volatility and poor quality of an Internet streaming broadcast. Still further, this variety of digital services is provided via a uni-directional communication link.

Title: Geographic view of a modelling system
Inventor: MARRIOTT DAMIAN ANDREW
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: Geo View is a three-dimensional virtual universe in which a real-world or virtual object may be represented by one or more virtual objects whose attributes are derived from attributes of the real-world object via a flexible user-specifiable mapping. Typically a two-dimensional plane located in three-dimensional space is used to visualise the universe of interest. The placement of virtual objects in the universe typically having a shape is governed by the absolute or relative geographical location of the real-world objects, and also by a flexible set of user-specified layout rules. In addition to the visualisation of various objects, the human observer can attach sounds to objects. The representation of real-world objects with rapidly time-changing attributes may be simplified by the use of Synthetic Strobes, flexible user-specified filters which shift changes in the visual attributes of a shape from one time-domain to another.

Inventor: STEWART JOHN HOWARD
IPC: B23P19/04
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: Improved drilling and pinning machines and methods for processing elongate flexible e.g. rubber strips of seal material for forming seals about openings.  The machines and methods form precisely positioned holes in the rubber strip, and insert pins in the holes. Opposing ends of the pins are ultimately received in cooperating holes in the opening, mounting the seal strip to the opening. Machines and methods of the invention temporarily fix a strip or portion of the seal material to a rigid component of the machine. While the seal material is fixedly held, first and second holes are formed in general alignment with the length of the strip, or a subsequent hole is formed wherein location of the subsequent hole is based on location of a previously-formed hole. The formed holes and/or inserted pins are automatically inspected. The inspection information is forwarded to, and used by, the machine controller.

Patent CA-2424857-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MONTREUIL MICHEL
IPC: H02H9/00
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: The attenuation of the stray current impulse limits the capacitive leakage. The value of the inductance, coupled to the parasitic capacitance of the charge, creates a reactive filter effect. Since the effect is reactive, the impulse energy is not absorbed. The energy is therefore redistributed in time, but since the intensity of the tension is greatly diminished, the coupling through the capacitances is diminished. The apparatus comprises a core which includes 1, 2, 3 or 4 coils. The apparatus is typically a high quality reactance which includes a low reactive value in opposition of the line current (residual mode) and a high reactive value for the circulation of the parallel current (common mode).

Abstract: A ureteral device is provided for facilitating stone passage through a ureter or duct. An exemplary ureteral device includes a flexible, elongate body that defines a plurality of cages along the body. In a contracted state the cages have a reduced diameter. When an activation force is applied, the cages transform to an expanded state, thereby defining a plurality of void spaces.  The void spaces are configured to receive an obstruction, such as a stone. The ureteral device can then be induced to the contracted state to compress the obstruction within the elongate, flexible body and then be removed from the obstructed passage. The ureteral device can be configured to have different numbers of elongate flexible members that define the cages.

IPC: G16B50/00
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: In a method and a network for evaluating medical data in a cli-nical study, biochips containing patient samples with multiple biomolecular markers are tested in a number of point of care test devices respectively at point of care sites. Each test of each biochip sample produces a diagnostic result, which is entered into the electronic patient record for the patient who produced the sample. A follow-up examination is subsequently conducted for each patient, and the results of the follow-up examination are also entered into that patient's electronic patient record. The follow-up results indicate whether the diagnostic test result was a false positive, a false negative or correct.  The follow-up data and the original diagnostic results from all point of care sites are electroni-cally transmitted to a remote server, which has access to an expert system which uses the test results and the follow-up data to automatically devise a measurement protocol for a selected pathology.
